Happy you're home!!! It certainly is a tough surgery! I'm glad you see differences already. Make sure you take it veeerrry easy for awhile! Don't be discouraged if you still have dizziness or such yet...it's a surgery that can accompany other things to flare up before they go down. But you sound great, great spirit & if you need anything, were all here!!! Sending you hugs & prayer for a smooth recovery! Keep us posted! And if you ever feel frustrated or confused about this journey (even though everybody's journey is different), def. contact your Dr., BUT know we're here to support you all the way!!! <3

They released me 2 days after surgery....felt good but ended up with meningitis! The worst thing in my life......worst than the surgery. So rest Molly and i pray for a speedy recovery with longevity.
